It seems that more has been going on with this and other projects than you are aware of. The Mayor and his administration have been very diligent in seeking business opportunities for Jemison, especially at the Interstate exit area. Tremendous efforts have been made there to install the infrastructure required to attract businesses and to accommodate their needs when they come. The lack of those things in the past has hampered development of the exit site. But this administration has focused their attention there to remove those barriers to expansion and growth. You are correct that Jemison can use the revenue from the businesses and the traffic that will generate. The Wal-mart Corporation has had particular interest there. But they tend to work privately until they are ready to announce their intentions. Unfortunately, word got out a little early on a new project for them and has slowed things down on their progress. But other businesses have also expressed interest there and as the economy improves, growth in Jemison will follow. We have already seen Family Dollar established in Jemison. They built a nice looking facility and seem to be well received by the community. The Exxon station on the north side took care of an eyesore that was lingering. And there is evidence in town of other development right now. The school system is a County endeavor and although we encourage and support improvements, the County and the Board of Education are the places to direct your interests in improvements. We are all for their investments in our community; but it is their budget to manage and decisions to make. Remember to vote! Your love and concern for Jemison is most appreciated and shared by many, including our local leadership. Community involvement for all of the issues you have mentioned is imperative to our long-term success. We are counting on folks like you with spirit and drive for improvements to keep the issues alive and kicking. Thank you for taking the time to share your vision for our City!

Hopefully Jemison will have some extra pull to get these monies from the State to help us accomplish this goal.
